Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I got a sewing machine for Mother's Day...and then it began. lol I have started quilting and lets say it has turned into an obsession. I can admit that...not sure about the monster part. I lay in bed and design whole quilts, tote bags, table runner, ect. So is this normal? I used to enjoy reading, watching tv but now all I want to do is quilt. I love it so
My family jokes that I need an intervention. I had to replace my iron today, ( I just bought one in January) and my dh is convinced that I am addicted to ironing, since I wore my iron out so fast, and cutting fabric. He is right, too, I am addicted and I don't want to change!
Welcome to your homies! I'd intended to spend the morning sorting out my bookshelves and instead I've alphabetized all of the quilting books and read every page of each one. Congratulations on getting a great Mothers' Day gift that will provide years of enjoyment.
A fabric stash is always missing that one fabric needed to finish the quilt on which you're working.
DH might as well get used to the "monster". It's an incurable disease! Did he buy the sewing machine?? If he did, it's all his fault, LOL!
Welcome to our world!Don't worry, you'll be very happy here!
I use to work 40+ hours a week for years. Since I don't work now I figure I can devote all that time to quilting if I choose. The family did just fine with me away from home those hours so they can do just fine with me in my sewing room those hours. I don't care what they think I should be doing anyway. LOL
Got fabric?
I like how you think!!Originally Posted by BellaBoo

Ditto!!
Seems fairly normal behavior from where I'm sitting!!! Yep - was working on a tote bag late Friday night, then watched a few tutorials (quilting of course) - before I went to bed around 12:30 am or so, then was up at 7 am because that was when I woke and then I started thinking (which was the problem). I had already determined, as I was drifting off to sleep, that I really did want that front pocket on my tote - and yet the tote was complete - but I was determined there was a way to add that pocket anyway!!! And there was. I'll have to upload a picture in the pictures section. :-)

Couldnt agree more! I join you in Sept!! Can't wait!! Been making all the purchases in anticipation of having sewing time!!
You're going to love your new freedom to choose what you want to do or not do. It's so much fun to get up every morning! Congrats a little early!
